chronister Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I created a karaoke database site for my aunt to help her manage her hundreds of karaoke disks. I would like her to be able to place a disc in her cd drive and have my webpage read it and then query freedb.org to get the disc info. Would this be possible using php?? I would think that a webpage accessing a cd drive would be a major security risk and I am also thinking that php is not the answer here since it's server side in the first place. At this point, I need to figure out how to generate the unique discid for running the query to freedb.com. I understand the part about querying their server, I just need to know how to generate the disc id. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

I did not use large texts, I was specific about what I want, there is really no code in question here & I did not mention anything about an error either. Does anyone know if PHP or any other web scripting language can access a CD drive?

neel_basu Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Ya Php Can Access CD Drive Of Server side Computer but not th eclient side computer Cause when the page gets loaded into browser comleately. then the story of php is over. you can use fso ActiveX Control For That. But Nortorn Antivirus may not Let You To Do That.And It can Be opened only in IE.You Can Make Appleats For That purpouse. and Also Flash Can also Do this Job. And Here This Should Be Your Question "Does anyone know if PHP or any other web scripting language can access a CD drive?"
